We stopped in on a Saturday around 1 pm while visiting friends in the area. The coffee shop was busy but moved quickly and had a vibrant, warm vibe inside. There was plenty of seating in the back as well. We got drip coffee and cold brew, both of which had great flavor. The baristas were friendly and helpful. There were a couple dogs inside, so it's def a dog friendly place (win-win!). read more

Goodkind is one of the many adorable coffee shops in Lakewood. Something that makes it stand out is that it's fairly large with ample seating on two sides. There's plenty of single tables and a few larger tables for meeting or working with a group. The space is airy and bright. I love the blue accents and wallpaper. It's def quiet and comfortable to feel good about spending a few hours there on a weekday. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, great vibes here. My coffee was delicious. I got a cafe au lait with one of their cinnamon seasonal syrups. I will say this isn't the spot if you're looking for breakfast with your coffee. I got one of their grab and go biscuit sandwiches which was prepackaged and sitting in their cooler. They did warm it up for me, but it wasnt very good. The meat was still kind of cold, so I just ate the biscuit with some honey. I can't really hold it against them, I don't think they make food there. I probably would have been better off just getting a bagel. I love touring the many coffee shops of Lakewood and am happy to finally make it to Goodkind Coffee. read more

A cute coffeeshop in Lakewood! I really enjoyed my hot Red Latte (rooibos espresso and honey cinnamon syrup) and my friend enjoyed her iced Harvest Latte, which came with brown sugar syrup and pumpkin cold foam. The ambiance seemed great for getting work done, or catching up with a friend. There are a few chairs and small tables outside in addition to the generous indoor seating. read more

Goodkind Coffee - Menu as of October 2025 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Super friendly staff, metered parking lot, fun flavor combinations. However, I do think they can work on their matcha drinks more. I love the strawberry matcha combo but there is almost no matcha flavor. The drink may look matcha green but idk how much matcha is actually in the drink. I think they need to add another scope or two of matcha and really spend time blending it. All I tasted was strawberry milk really. read more

Goodkind Coffee - Matcha strawberry latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

Even thought the line was long (and out the door), got my order within few minutes so service was quick. However, they have a no laptop weekend policy so if you are looking to do some work (that requires laptops) on a weekend, this place would not be ideal. I tried their black sesame latte and it was alright. Thought it could use more black sesame flavor as the flavor was very subtle. read more

Walked into Goodkind on a Saturday with the line almost out the door! Our orders were taken quickly and we didn't wait long for drinks. The black sesame latte is one of their fall specials, though it did not have a very strong sesame flavor at all. Very large shop with 2 seating areas; plenty of outlets and tables to fit any size party! Be mindful that they are laptop free on weekends, so take your studying elsewhere! read more

We came in before heading to the park. I just wanted a shot of espresso to wake me up. My friends got the CLV (cold brew with lime and vanilla) and a key lime iced latte. The CLV was very refreshing. Light on the cold brew flavor too. I'd get that next time! It's a wonderfully decorated coffee shop. We parallel parked right in front of it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Coffee itself was good. I tried the Blueberry Vanilla Latte, didn't taste either of those flavors, but as I said it was good. My husband is diabetic and it's unfortunate you don't have any sugar free options. read more

All-around solid coffee. I'd recommend their lattes more than a cold brew or an espresso. So great if you like lattes.

A friend of mine posted their summer menu and immediately I knew I had to go! With coffees such as Key Lime, Espresso Cola, and Creamsicle who wouldn't want to try something? I got the Key Line latte with oat milk. Absolutely delicious! Like please if you go there in time try it! The please while on the smaller size is great for photos or a cute little coffee date. The staff were so nice, and helpful when I was deciding. I'm already making plans to go back before the summer flavors leave! read more

My mother and I will come here relatively often to crotchet and people watch at the seats by the window, I really like the remodel they did, it feels more spacious and feels clean and calm in the cafe! The menu is small and simple but the quality is good and strong, I'm not a huge coffee drinker and their coffee is too sting for me but I really like their Chi lattes! Since it is a small place they don't have a huge staff so it can be really busy sometimes but the drinks are worth the wait and staff is patient and attentive! read more

The coffee was good. The decorations were cute. Only negative was that the baristas seemed unhappy.

Typical well-crafted coffee with ambiance to match. Cold brew is too tangy for my taste, so I usually go elsewhere when craving cold brew. Good service. read more

Hipster neighborhood cafe. Since its recent renovation, the interior is slightly less vintage cozy (gone are the loveseats and leather stools), but the baristas and staff are just as friendly as ever. You'll find excellent basic brews here along with a rotating seasonal menu with quirky creations such as cold brew with rhubarb syrup or with lime juice and vanilla. To munch on, there's a small selection of pastries from local bakeries, or you can get a burrito and other packaged goods from a local chef/caterer formerly from Tartine Bistro. Most patrons are locals in the area and it's gratifying to see the relationship between baristas and the customers. Come often enough, and they'll definitely remember your order. If you've got a pup, they're sure to get a treat too. Being pretty small, there's only a few round tables big enough to squeeze 1-2 people, and a larger dining table with some outlets that you'll be lucky to snag. Music is pretty dependent on the staff's whims but feel free to make requests. One feature that I'm glad wasn't replaced in the redecoration are the restrooms with their old-timey encyclopedia wallpaper. While the font is a little too small to read from the comfort of the toilet seat, it's an inspiring setting for anyone looking to do some creative work. read more

I recently started going to GK after expanding the seating area. It was hard to find a seat before that so i used to avoid it. The ambiance is nice, very friendly staff. I order the mocha and it's one of my favorite in Cleveland, the food is not bad as well( the ready made burritos). Too bad no laptops on weekends :) read more

Arguably the best coffee in Lakewood from a pure taste perspective. A few small atmosphere things bring it down though 1. No laptops on weekends - I get it you're extremely busy. But it's a coffee shop, get over yourself. Even with the recent addition I still see this rule posted everywhere 2. Drink rewards - only for $5 purchases and up, so as someone who just gets a coffee, even a large, I get no benefit 3. Lack of greeting people - I've stood in line as the 2 baristas spend 5+min making drinks and chatting together, 0 acknowledgement there's a customer standing there. Not looking for a cheesy 'welcome' when I walk in, but feels very weird I go relatively frequently because it's convenient, but find myself passing by more and more read more

Great coffee, good chai (hot or iced), excellent cinnamon roll. Love this light filled shop. They maximized the space and varied the seating options with 5-6 two person booth-on-one-side tables, 2 four-person tables in the back, a couple comfy chairs and a counter and stools along the window. I've never had a problem finding a place to sit when I've come in to get a little work done. The people who work there are pleasant and friendly to customers and one another. It's nice because you don't feel like you're the only ones talking if you come in with a friend. That being said, if the place is full and you do specifically need quiet, it probably isn't. I found Goodkind on Instagram and they nail the aesthetic all around. Perfect for the neighborhood. read more

Came in here looking for pastries & coffee for a road trip, the line was out the door with people of all types... folks on their way to work, people in their pajamas, families, couples... So great to see a spot so welcoming to so many different kinds of people! I ordered the horchata latte which was seasonal and so, so good. My partner said his coffee was also excellent. We got bagels from the Cleveland Bagel Co. which looked a little flat but tasted amazing. Highly recommend the brie cream cheese! They were already out of a lot of pastries by the time we arrived, so we just wished for a little more variety in the food department, and the next time we were in town we looked for something a little more reliable for breakfast bites. But for the vibes and the coffee, no notes... we are fans! read more

I've been going to Goodkind since I was a junior in high school, and now I'm a junior in college. Honestly, whenever I'm at school, all I can think about is their coffee and how I wish I had one by me -- it's that good. No matter what drink I get, it's always the absolute best. I truly love this coffee shop. I can't say enough how much I cherish it, and I honestly think it's the best coffee I've ever had. This place will always be my top choice. read more

The place is small and cute. The staff was friendly and welcoming . I got a cinnamon roll and a vanilla latte and it cost $8.50 sheesh. The latte was pretty good. Kind of wish. It was a tad bit sweeter without needing sugar. I was told they make their syrups in the house. The cinnamon roll was ice cold I don't know if it was because I got it to go, and they usually warm it there or what. I warmed it at home and it was pretty good. There are there coffee shops closer to me I just like to try new places if I'm in that area and want to coffee. I definitely stop there again, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way. read more

A-MAZING COFFEE!!! Was given a hot tip to try this place from another coffee shop in the area from the barista who works there. He mentioned to try good kind and oh baby!!! This place is great! Cool spot in Lakewood. Nice staff. And just amazing coffee. We are really lucky to have so many good places in Cleveland for excellent coffee. Add Good Kind to that list. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Great ube latte and cortado! I would skip the biscuit breakfast sandwich as that just gets heated in a parchment paper resulting in a soggy sandwich. read more

Adoreeee this coffee shop. Some of the best espresso drinks on the market. Cannot recommend their ube latte enough- and the baked goods are always amazing. Staff is always friendly, provides quick service- even when there is a line out the door. They always make sure to give a little treat to my dog too- a very sweet gesture. Great place to work from home, or stop by on a walk! read more

Goodkind Coffee - Fall latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I stopped by GoodKind on a weekend morning, as I often do, intending to enjoy a cup of coffee and get school work done. I had my backpack with me and placed my order as usual. Only after I paid did the barista place a small sign in front of me stating that the coffee shop is "laptop free on the weekends." I hadn't seen any signage before ordering, and nothing was mentioned when I walked in or while I was paying, despite her seeing I had a backpack on, and she had even asked if I would be staying. What made the experience worse was overhearing the barista complain about me to a coworker while glaring at me repeatedly. Despite the coffee shop being mostly empty--only a few tables were taken--I was eventually told in a rude manner to put my laptop away. I understand and respect house rules, but the way this situation was handled felt passive-aggressive and unnecessarily hostile. A polite heads-up would have been appreciated, especially before taking my order and money. The unwelcoming attitude left a really sour taste, and I won't be returning. read more

We love Goodkind and it's our go-to spot on Saturday mornings. I also love working from here remotely. Interior design 10/10, welcoming vibes 10/10, coffee 10/10. Their Red Latte is my favorite -- highly recommend if you like Rooibos. My only wish is that they had more GF food options! read more

I truly think that Goodkind is one of the most slept upon coffee shops in all of Cleveland! Goodkind is a special experience. It's a wonderful space, with all the cutest little hipster workers. Like their staff is a whole type, and they are all so kind. It's honestly like you're in a movie really. The coffee shop you imagined in that book you read last week? That's Goodkind coffee to me. I think what I love the most is the way they create their drinks, from house made syrups and sweeteners, to combining interesting and unexpected flavors that somehow work together. I recently grabbed a Winter Latte which literally is a brown sugar latte with orange bitters, what!!! But it is so so good. Each of their drinks are essentially created like craft cocktails, they use cocktail shakers, and cocktail like ingredients and I'm obsessed. I love you Goodkind!!!! read more

This had been on my places to try for the 2 years that I've lived in Lakewood and I finally got around to visiting. I absolutely loved it and wish I had tried it sooner! They had some really unique flavored drinks on their fall menu. I decided to try the How Rhu'd which is espresso, soda water, honey cinnamon syrup and rhubarb bitters. It sounds kind of different, but it was surprisingly very tasty! I love the atmosphere of Goodkind. There were lots of people there working on their computers and lots of regulars that came in while I was sitting there, which gave it a cute neighborhood coffee shop feel. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their seasonal drinks! read more

Goodkind Coffee - How Rhu'd espresso soda - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

A friend and I wanted to begin exploring the Lakewood area coffee shops and had no idea where to start. Goodkind Coffee came up on a random Instagram post that I saw, so we decided to go there with no other context - and we LOVED it. Goodkind is an incredibly cozy space. It is a small little shop but has a vintage vibe with its old wood floors and quirky details. There isn't that much seating - about 6 small tables, one larger table, and a counter. I usually like to come to coffee shops to work, so this is a bit of a bummer, but I think you could still get work done here given there are plenty of outlets and strong Wifi - you just might have to get here earlier to secure a table. They have a pretty standard coffee menu with a variety of seasonal specialty drinks. I usually don't get specialty drinks because I find they are always too sweet, but I decided to get the fall latte iced with oat milk and it was incredible. My friend got an ube latte (which is actually purple!). She thought it was a little too sweet but appreciated how beautiful it was. Another downside is we didn't get here until about 11:15 or so, and were a little disappointed that there weren't too many food options (some packaged banana breads/cookies and a few Cleveland Bagel bagels, but we missed out on fresher muffins and cinnamon rolls). Even so, I had a great experience with my beverage. It wasn't a cheap drink (I paid $6.50 because I wanted by drink both iced and with oat milk) but I have paid the same price and more at other local establishments and been disappointed before. If you want a good coffee shop for catching up with a friend, reading, or doing light work, I would definitely suggest checking out Goodkind. While it is less conducive to sitting down and having an intense study session, it has fantastic energy, very kind baristas, and is certainly a hidden gem. read more

Stopped in with a friend for an afternoon coffee, and we enjoyed it. They have a nice coffee list and some fun seasonal drinks. I enjoyed my vanilla cinnamon latte, but did think that it was a little pricey. Still worth a trip, and I wouldn't mind checking out the pastries another day. read more

Live around the corner, just Love everything about this place. The vibes are amazing especially on a rainy day.

I love trying local coffee shops. Ventured out to Lakewood today and decided to enjoy a latte. I was greeted by a friendly new employee Marcus. He was great with offering suggestions and even let me try flavors to help decide which latte. He made a cool leaf design in the fall latte I ordered. This place is unique in that they make all their syrup flavors in-house. So, expect high quality latte flavors. Really enjoyed the fall latte that has nodes of cinnamon, honey, and maybe clove? Not overly sweet. Next time hope to try the Ube latte. Tasted a bit like bubble tea. Some of their latte flavors are seasonal. Baked items are provided by local businesses with vegan and GF options. They also have bagels from CLE Bagel Co. (tip: they're only $2 here so it's cheaper than going to the bagel shop) and varied cream cheese flavors for a little extra. I loved my toasted rosemary bagel with cream cheese! My latte and bagel (w/plain cream cheese) were $8 total. Great deal! They have a restroom and free Wi-Fi. Seating is spread out with one large table and a few high top tables as well is a long bench with two mini tables. Many took orders to go. No parking lot so you'll need to use metered parking during the week and find free parking on weekends. They have one temp spot in front of the shop if you're picking up an order. Come super early on a weekday and you shouldn't have a problem with parking. Overall, great coffee, good people, good vibes. read more

Goodkind is walking distance from our house so my husband and I are frequent visitors. While there are many great coffee shops in Lakewood, this is by far our favorite spot. The staff is always friendly, the newly remodeled space is warm & inviting, and most importantly the coffee is great! They have a small selection of pastries, bagels and other grab-and-go items. It's the perfect place to hangout and work for a bit, or for grabbing coffee with a friend. They even allow dogs, and always offer ours a treat when we visit! read more
